I suppose your have read all my posts of the past, this below is from January 2016, i also remember long ago when i was small, Letty had been ill for a while, my Mother would tell us to be quiet when we played out, then one day Letty Died she was cremated and her ashers were spread on the the grave of Rebeccas in the form of a cross, i saw this with my own eyes, someone wrote to me and said William is burried with Rebecca, which William maybe them both i do no know, maybe more i have never tryed to find out, all you have to do is either log on the Wilford Cemetry web site or just go down there and talk to people and pay a small fee for them to tell you everything, they will evan walk you over to the hidden graves, Letty had a daughter also named Rebecca, she never would smile at us, my Mother was also Rebecca, Lettys Rebecca had dark brown hair like my Mother, and she was older than our lot, you would think her face would crack from being so tight in the way there was no emotion, i was small just running around with my brothers wild like and offen she would pass by and i would shout out helo, sure if i dint of done it she would have walked straight by, she would just remark, helo, and carry on walking like we was never there, Aurnty Letty was alright though, She would watch us play on the old graveyard opposite her house, my Mother would always call in to talk with her, She had one of thoes little Gipsy caravans made of clay or wood as an ornament, my Mother had one to, we lived a few doors away, its very close to Gedling Street and also where Luckknow Street was, the place that you talk of, well they are just a few hundred yards away, over many decades many people lived within a very close circle, the more i have found out the more amazing the story goes, sometimes i walk down the old streets and think how i walk the very same route as was walked by all the people that have been mentioned, where did you get the photo from, who of, i want you to tell me.

I would often go with my Mother to pay respects to People at Wilford Hill, there are lots there names like William, Joseph, Percy, Henry, Edward, James, Frederick, Maria ,Rebecca, Letty, and more those sorts of names, lots we new of, lots as come as a surprise to me, I'm as sure as sure can be thoe that there all related, and more to, same as those other cemetery's, they were just ordinary people living there own life in there own time, there were no fancy kings or great names known by others, no fancy big gravstones, not nothing at all much just People gone now to this life, but I will speak more of them and what i know another time, oral history, there on the right side as you go in the main entrance, up that little winding path, i know this is true, for i was there, i hope this is of help one day, some of there relatives will look, and they will find there way through my words, all those times long ago I would jump and skip along that path, seems so long ago now, my Mother had great love for the Dead, happy days, most were born mid to late 1800s, i think there are more over at the northern bulwell cemetery, but I was never there, i have seen their names on records, i would say some could be right, pluss on some records its not just the last name that can be spelled differently, where people have marriage records giving a Fathers name say George,
and yet they can not connect a George to an older Family that stands out as true, this is be course on records I have seen William be known as George William, then just William, so if you come across say a George don't be thinking that was the only name he went by, you have to take no notice of what you think is the right way of researching, you are dealing with people far different from anyways you thought was possible
